This is the most consequencial ST unit in the entire NFL in quite some time

Hey DK, did you notice the crowd noise when the Giants were attempting FGs, they're expecting SPLASH now! 😎

[jerryyeager]

Danny Smith is awesome. Watching the team gathering around him, for me was a big highlight of the game. I loved it. I am feeling great over the Steelers game play. The energy and excitement is so awesome. Thank you DK, great show

[stellafierce]

I'm glad Danny Smith has been complemented during national broadcasts. Like him getting recognition for "working his butt off".

Danny gum smith has our special teams the #1 in the nfl. Chew on danny!! 💪💛🖤

[stevenorsini]

This special team unit could be a difference maker in a tight game.

[nolashawn]

“ and various chewing gum manufacturers” haha

Dont forget boswell also had to punt this season. Wasnt the best punt but he also didnt shank it.

[jerryspangler]

DK, is there any way to ask Calvin Austin if he is helping Roman in any way ??

[cron]

Somebody get my man coach Danny a raise and a chewing gum sponsorship ASAP! 😂😂😂

More like we blocked 5 kicks. As you know, 2 were negated by officiating error.

Now we have a punt returner who tries to get up field.

The crime is that we stayed with a terrible punter for 3 years when there were obviously better options available.

Big fan of this outlet & how everyone on DK's channel is genuine, honest, & very entertaining. Haven't missed a video in 3 seasons or so.

That said, I'll give Jefferson the credit he deserves for making a big play, & he's the kind of guy I'd absolutely love in that DHB role (WR#5/Special teams ace) that DHB exceled at during the "Killer B" era. I think his current role at #2, even in a heavy personnel/run heavy offense is a significant over-cast/not really fair to the guy. As Matt Williamson would say, "He's a guy that opposing defenses are thrilled to see on the field 45 snaps a game".

Just to bolster my point, if you could hypothetically pick '24 Jefferson or '16 Derrius Heyward-Bey to be the #2 for potentially 10+ games remaining this year, I bet 80%+ would take DHB, a WR#5/special teams ace on the '16 Steelers. Continued inaction at that position is ... baffling.

Boswell is listed as K9 When he kicks. The whole special teams unit should be called the K9 unit, because it is loaded with DAWGS!!!

[yancyjenkinssr]

Dont care what the pundits think...BOZ alreddy elite in our ❤ and minds. Have a good weekend DK and get some rest

[jordellfreshbreeze]

the fg Boswell missed; wasn’t that the 60+ yarder?

[tease]

He should be very happy. The special teams are doing great.

[CormacCarey-mcro]

Hey DK the double shot today got me thinking about the offense and my favourite pass type from Russ so far is maybe not the moonball, but the little dinked or lobbed balls over the heads of incoming rushers. Softens up their defence and gives the run game road to get going, which all sets up the rest of the playbook. Would like to know what you think please

[Jlavin]

ST is so impressive, and the players know it and are coming for the AFC North after the bye.

[steelersluv]

The left foot would’ve touched if the CB wouldn’t have made that hit at the end. That’s not on GP!

[shadyacrefarm]

Boz has always been underrated because of Tucker being in the same decision but I wouldn’t trade him for any other kicker. And the punter, has really stepped up and doing a great job!
